And this is not a joke. He’s smiling at you.
Bollywood idol Shah Rukh Khan will be a Datuk by Saturday. He’ll be bestowed the title by the Malacca Yang Dipertua Negeri, the same person which bestowed the title Datuk to Rexy Mainaky, the coach of Lee Chong Wei, in conjunction with his birthday.
Well, fine. But look, Badshah is not even a Malaysian, and I wonder what has he contributed to the Malaysian society to receive such an honour. Even the ex-principal of my school, Chang Yu On, has to die contributing to the education field before he was bestowed a Datuk title posthumously.
Just imagine how many Malaysian Indians in the country that don’t even get treated well, and look at Shah Rukh Khan. Humph..

Tuan,
Sampai saat ini walaupun saya telah menulis artikel khas bertajuk “Tahniah Datuk Shah Rukh Khan” saya masih tidak percaya berita yang saya dengar dari media perdana tanah air. Saya masih tidak berhenti berharap agar Bernama mengeluarkan “Ralat” kerana tersalah lapor ataupun tersalah tulis “Nasir Bilal Khan” sebagai “Shah Rukh Khan”.
“Datuk” Shah Rukh Khan « INDONESIAKU JAYA // October 14, 2008 at 3:52 pm |
[...] Apabila Shah Rukh Dapat Gelaran Datuk dan B’wood Idol Shah Rukh Khan is Datuk [...]

@ womenonblog: I think not. =\
@ Faizal: Apa-apa pun, kita tengok lah. Selagi Si Shah tu tak muncul untuk menerima gelarannya, dia masih belum jadi Datuk. Dan selagi dia belum terima, Yang Dipertua Negeri Melaka boleh menarik balik gelaran tersebut darpada diberikan kepada Si Shah tu.

I think if the Government of the state can offer this to a Indian Bollywood STAR; why is everyone favorite foreign star whom is loved by all Malaysian regardless of race & age over the last 2-3 decades is not honoured?? JACKIE CHAN…He act, collaborated with our very own Datuk Michelle Yeoh & did & produced movies & brought fame to our country landmarks in his movies & also his influences with the local music industry!!! He may have a greater influence to the Malaysian population has been a very healthy & Good public figure for all.
This is what puzzles me??…Michael

You want to know why? Because Jackie Chan never acted in Malaysia.
